McKown, and pipe work for eight stops was built by Aeolian-Skinner. In 1963 a new chancel organ (shown above) built by Aeolian-Skinner replaced the Hutchings-Votey organ. Changes since then include the 32' Bourdon in the Gallery Pedal, the 1967 8' Trumpet in the Gallery Solo, and the 1972 8' Oboe in the Chancel Choir. The Gallery Choir, Solo and part of the Pedal sustained serious water damage during firefighter's efforts to extinguish an electrical fire in a beam above the west gallery on June 23, 1999. Foley-Baker & Co. restored the divisions. Organ Historical Society Database: https://pipeorgandatabase.org/OrganDetails.php?OrganID=2406 |
